Neither
wholly plant nor animal, neither entirely self-aware nor totally
non-sentient, the creature called the Man-Thing is unique, unchanging
and alone — but none who encounter him can ever be the same again.
Empathic by nature and drawn to fight evil, his shambling visage
inspires fear — and whatever knows fear burns at the Man-Thing’s touch.
Whether danger rises from the swamp or the city, the past or the future,
outer space or the human soul, the Man-Thing awaits! Collecting
